Bernard Tomic set to reveal new coach

November 30, 2013 — 3.00am

Bernard Tomic is set to name his new coach within a fortnight.

Australia's top-ranked male player has been on the lookout for a coach to replace his father, John, who has been banned from the ATP Tour indefinitely following his assault on Tomic's former training partner Thomas Drouet in May.

''I've been discussing that [a new coach] with my father and that should be … solved in the next 10 days to two weeks,'' Tomic said in an interview with Tennis Australia.

Tomic will be out to defend his Sydney International title in January after being handed a wildcard entry for the tournament on Thursday.
